Hard drive Crash - And It's benefits
it has been the day from Hell. MS's updates didn't sit well with one of my computers. (the other 4 updated fine) It went into perpetual reboot mode. Ughh.
The good part? I have two hard drives on all my computers. So even though I will have to reinstall all the programs on it (except the ones I stopped using) The only info I lost was in a couple of emails (I was able to get most of the contacts and 99.9% of the emails, but there was only one I really wanted and that person resent it to me today.
(the second part is my main email and one of the puters I use the most don't seem to get along well. So an hour or two one the phone with them, and they still are clueless as to why it doesn't work consistently) (GoDaddy...I know, 'I told you so') (am looking into a DS at The Planet or hosting at hostgator... haven't decided which yet.)
Anyway, what is good is other than a stressful day, when I am done, I will have lost nothing due to keeping docs on a different hard drive than programs. I can not stress enough the advantages of doing that, it has saved recent un-backed up docs a couple of times now in the last 10 years.
So... If anyone has an opinion on DSs from the Planet (they have support at least unlike most DSs) or hosting at hostgator or any other REALLY good host, I am open to comments. Meanwhile look into adding a second HD to use for docs if you don't already.
